Bullying? Seriously? (Page 2) Leaahh: I think it's great that Wire has the block feature, it saves you from reading things in the room that may offend you or hurt your feelings, I think it's more important that people take it upon themselves to not let others hurt their feelings by words on a screen. You cannot police the world, mods cant always be there to police chat. Again, if you block someone but you keep seeing your name, from your friends telling you about it or seeing your friends in chat defending you, whatever the case may be, an adult needs to learn how to handle that, emotionally. I can be done. If someone calls me names, insults the way I look, curses me out like a dog etc etc etc... and it happens most days I'm in chat, there are trolls here. I can decide whether that will upset me or not. I choose to not let it. I have the power over my own emotions, no one else and I wouldn't leave that up to the mods to take care of it for me. I've also realized that the ones who complain constantly are usually not angels themselves but so what if they were... handle yourself as an adult. If you don't want to read it, block them..if you don't want your friends running back to you and telling you everything so and so says, tell them you don't want to hear it and if they continue well they are not really your friends. It's not that hard to figure out.  Thosny: Leah - you can go back and EDIT a post....if you misspell or to fix some grammar...just an FYI. I do it all the time. Leaahh: It does not make you a coward to block someone who harasses you, it makes you immature to sit and argue with someone for years lol luvbunnies: so true Leahh I've realized that throughout the years being on here (10+yrs) , but that being said, block right, but what about the ppl that change their profile every other day?? losers yes, they have no life, they get suspended and have to come right back on here to get em!!! those ppl should be permanently banned luvbunnies: One thing I can truly say about myself is that I'm a good speller, and if I choose to shorten my words on here big whoop! who cares, I don't...Life is too short!! haha AgniKaiLina: i totally agree...its like a user started making up lies that i tried to have sex with her partner, and then she kept harrassing me about it instead of just blocking me...and she got a lot of people in on it so i had a lot of blocking to do Leaahh: I run into the ones that make a new profile every five minutes too, if I don't want to read them, I don't. I don't block a lot of people, I choose to live my life and not let words on a screen bother me. I have one crazy heifer blocked because she kept emailing me. And I've blocked a ton of pervs but have never ran to a mod to help me out in those situations. Leaahh: Ruby, I am writing you a long, stern email about Thos bullying me here today with his post to me. luvbunnies: ppl like that have no lives, insecure, just belly achers. see enough of that in the news everyday ffs Leaahh: Yeah, they thrive on drama but they cant feed off of you if you don't give them your troll kibble. (attention/show of emotions) Fighting/arguing with a troll only gives them power. If that is your goal, congrats! You've done a bang up job of getting yourself trolled even more. Thosny: I'm adding in a dissenting thought here. I know - SURPRISE! hahah It's an extremely popular notion that some here are "losers" and "have no life". I don't care how long you have been here but I'm going to make a guess and say that EVERYONE HERE AS A LIFE You may not agree that they "have a life" but the fact you have this opinion (whether you are a victim of their wrath or NOT) - is one of the main issues I am speaking about. Everyone here has a LIFE. Everyone here wants to be heard. There will always be those that ONLY want to cause trouble or be the center of attention. They come on wanting the cheap thrill of being the Internet Toughguy or the Internet HotBabe. It's their thing. And then "WE" - the one's who think we OWN THE JOINT - sit back and judge them. "OMG - get a life!!!".... "You are such a loser!!!" We engage them and we tell THEM how they should act and then they engage us and soon.... Ruby gets called. People's "feely's" get hurt and the rest are left with a screen full of hatred. Over what? Words on a screen? (edited because Ruby shamed me....) (Edited by Thosny)  Zonkers_: people been bullying on wire since the site's debut.. i seen it since i started when the site debuted luvbunnies: nobody wants to hear your dribble, complaining, trolling, your self hate towards other people, please!!! I'm here cuz I enjoy this site, have come to know some really good ppl, but about the negative ppl, FACT is they have no life to go on the net and put strangers down, whether it be about what they look like, etc. !!! Leaahh: Then we have the ones who cry over being bullied but yet sit and argue with a troll forever!! Really? Thosny: hahah Leah - I wasn't picking on you, honey. I was just reminding you that you could. Like I said, I do it all the time. |
